Description Chen Qi 2016-01-06 06:01:11 UTC 
When generating Ext SDK, we need to have the ability to configure to exclude some layers. This is useful when those layers are just download layers which contain tarball.

    copy_buildsystem: add ability to exclude layers
    
    In some cases, we may have some kind of download layers in BBLAYERS, so
    that we can set BB_NO_NETWORK to "1". This results in extremely large
    extensible SDK. And we actually don't need these download layers in the
    SDK.
    
    Add a new variable, SDK_LAYERS_EXCLUDE, to enable users to explicitly
    exclude some layers when generating the extensible SDK.
